The name is the same as that used for the substance in Annex I to Directive 67/
548/EEC. Whenever possible dangerous substances are designated by their
Einecs (European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances) of
Elincs (European List of Notified Chemical Substances) names. Other entries
not listed in Einecs or Elincs are designated using an internationally recognized
chemical name (e.g. ISO, IUPAC). An additional common name is included in
some cases.
Index number:
The index number is the identification code given to the substance in Annex I of
Directive 67/548/EEC. Substances are listed in the Appendix according to this
index number.
EC number:
For each substance listed in the European Inventory of Existing Commercial
Chemical Substances (Einecs) there is an identification code. The code starts at
200-001-8.
For each new substance notified under the Directive 67/548/EEC an identifica-
tion code has been defined and published in the European List of Notified
Chemical Substances (Elincs). The code starts at 400-010-9.
CAS number:
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers have been defined for substances to
help in their identification.
Notes:
The full text of the notes can be found in the foreword of Annex I of Directive
67/548/EEC.
The notes to the taken into account for the purposes of this Directive are as
follows:
Note J:
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the
substance contains less than 0,1 % w/w benzene (Einecs No 200-753-7).
Note K:
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the
substance contains less than 0,1 % w/w 1,3-butadiene (Einecs No 203-450-8).
Note L:
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the
substance contains less than 3 % DMSO extract as measured by IP 346.
Note M:
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the
substance contains less than 0,005 % w/w benzo[a]-pyrene (Einecs No 200-028-
5).
Note N:
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if the full refining history is
known and it can be shown that the substance from which it is produced is not
a carcinogen.
Note P:
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply if it can be shown that the
substance contains less than 0,1 % w/w benzene (Einecs No 200-753-7).

Note R:
The classification as a carcinogen need not apply to fibres with a length weighted
geometric mean diameter, less two standard errors, greater than 6μm.
